Addiction is a difficult disease. It affects many people and the family members who love them. There’s not an easy answer to recovery. For most people, it’s a journey of therapy, group meetings, structured support and a walk with God. Central to the 12 steps is the idea that the addict most turn their life over to God. Recovery does not just happen; it takes a surrender to God and acknowledgement that one is trusting in Him to carry the load.
